   -Amiga with AmigaOS 3.0 (V39)
   -MC68020
   -graphic board (eg. CyberVision64, Picasso II, Retina, etc) or AGA chipset
   -2MB of FastRAM, 512K of ChipRAM


 software requirements
   -CyberGraphX 2.16 or higher if used with a graphic board
   -asyncio.library V37 (included)

 recommended hardware requirements:

 Changes since V1.6:
   - AGA display routine now uses Peter Kunath's FastC2P algorithm for
     chunky->planar conversion. This nearly doubled playback speed with AGA!!
   - again a rewrite became necessary :)
   - video subtask now completely removed, because overhead was too big. By
     doing this playback speed again raised a bit!
   - as there are no subtasks anymore the PRIORITY option is obsolete now and
     has been removed.
   - added support for Component Video (YUV2) compression. Thanks to Chris
     Longmore for his sample animation.
   - added support for Intel Raw (YUV9) compression. Note: this is a "hacked"
     support. It took me nearly one complete day to disassemble the YUV9 part
     from XAnim's Indeo module.
   - added support for PCM 16 bit stereo samples
   - improved skipping of delayed frames
   - fixed a small display bug when rounded width or height was different from
     original value
   - added PUBSCREEN option to display truecolor animations on truecolor screens
   - removed a Mungwall-Hit that appeared when allocating odd size of memory for
     video buffer
   - the CVID decoding routine now uses the same YUV tables as YUV2
     and YUV9.
     With this change CyberAVI should use the same CVID routine as
     the most recent version of XAnim. This is a "hacked" part, too.
   - maximum possible buffersize decreased to 4096 (which means 4MB). I think
     this is enough.
   - some minor speed optimiziations
